A global higher education leader in innovative teaching, research and public service, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill consistently ranks as one of the nation's top public universities. Known for its beautiful campus, world-class medical care, commitment to the arts and top athletic programs, Carolina is an ideal place to teach, work and learn.

One of the best college towns and best places to live in the United States, Chapel Hill has diverse social, cultural, recreation and professional opportunities that span the campus and community.

Carolina Housing is committed to providing convenient housing that is secure, inclusive, and supportive. Students create a home in our on-campus communities, build life-long friendships and develop skills for their current and futures successes as they journey through their Carolina experience. In support of this mission, the department provides a comprehensive campus housing operation for approximately 10,000 residents including business services, residence life and education, family housing, administrative services, housekeeping, maintenance, human resources, marketing, and information technology. Within these operations, over 500 full-time, part-time, and student staff are responsible for 3.1 million square feet of residential space and an annual auxiliary budget of over $70 million. The department receives no State funding, which makes the operation unique in that it must manage both revenue and expense projections and budgets. The department is also dynamic in that it must continuously adjust to changes in student preferences, demand, rate levels, and a changing landscape of construction and renovation, and enrollment growth. Carolina Housing prides itself on being student-centered, data -driven and dedicated to continuous improvement. To that end, the department is amid implementing its five-year strategic plan and in the process of long-term capital planning that is likely to include renovation and new construction.

Our internship goal is to foster an understanding and appreciation for working at a mid-sized, public, research institution. Intern(s) have an opportunity to experience various aspects of Carolina Housing's departmental initiatives during the summer months. As a part of the Summer Conference Operations team, the intern(s) directly contributes to the preparation and implementation of summer operations, giving an immersive internship experience. The intern(s) will receive a broad perspective of the department while also being able to provide valuable feedback/information from their respective institutions. Each intern will also be able to develop their leadership, supervision, and organizational skills from this position. This experience is largely driven by the intern's interests and developmental needs. The Conference Operations Intern(s) will be supervised/mentored by the Assistant Director of Conference and Guest Services.
